The sun finally emerged this morning but the Shelbyville dam was still completely hidden. The TVA was releasing up to 5,000 cubic feet per second starting Thursday night and it was estimated that the extra flow would reach Shelbyville today.

Shortly after a rural mail carrier in a van refused to cross floodwaters from Duck River covering Haley Road on Thursday morning, and shortly after another driver warned an oncoming reporter to turn back, a man in a four-wheel-drive pickup forded the waters without hesitating. The driver, who didn't stop to talk, appeared unfazed by the conditions.
